Fly High: A parrot, a forest and a future worth re-growing.

Naked Difference

A celebration of reforestation and renewal – Fly High by Xia Carstens supports Greenpop through the Naked Difference, growing hope one tree at a time.

Forests don’t grow overnight, but neither do movements. In partnership with the Naked Difference, artist Xia Carstens created her striking piece in support of Greenpop, an organisation restoring ecosystems one tree, one community, and one hopeful act at a time.

Xia’s artwork draws the eye inward through sweeping plants, branches and climbing vines, all guiding you toward a single focal point: the endangered Cape Parrot. Fewer than 2,000 of these birds are believed to remain in the wild. By placing it at the heart of the piece, framed by sunlight and symmetry, Xia highlights something Greenpop knows well: when we protect habitats, we don’t just save species, we revive entire ecosystems.

Greenpop’s work stretches across Southern Africa, restoring land through large-scale tree-planting, forest restoration projects and community food-growing initiatives. Their Family Food Garden programme even teaches families to grow their own produce, greening communities while fighting hunger at its roots.

“I hope what I have created draws people’s attention to the cause,” Xia says, and it does just that – inviting us to look closer, think longer and care more deeply.

Here’s to rewilding, replanting and regrowing what matters.

The artwork forms part of The Art of Making a Difference, a collection which tells the story of the Naked Difference and the causes it supports through a curated collection of graphic poster artworks and tote bags. Each piece celebrates the mission and impact of a different organisation.

Unlike traditional insurers, Naked charges a flat fee to cover its running costs, with the rest of the premiums going into a shared pool to pay claims. At the end of each financial year, Naked donates any surplus funds left in the claims pool to causes chosen by customers through the Naked Difference, instead of taking it as profit — ensuring that surplus funds support positive change in South African communities rather than adding to company profits.

That means every Naked customer who chose Greenpop as their cause on the Naked app helped make this impact real: cleaner air, healthier soil, stronger biodiversity and a greener future for the next generation.
